Answer 1

Okay, don't waste your time. I did that, and wasted about an hour of my life. When you first come to N. Ryoshima Cost, go to the left. It will be a sort of cliff. Use your Catwalk technique (found in Catcall Tower) on the cat statue to climb. Feed the tigers if you want to. When you try to go up to the man, a blue cyclops will come after you (he's not that hard to beat; just make sure his pipe doesn't go out). Defeat him; and talk to the man. He'll say something about the Whirlpool Galaxy. Go to the shrine-type thing and look at the stars. It should all be explained from there.
